PSOBB ON MAC

Recommended Posts

Parallels Desktop or VMware Fusion, as Choko hinted at, both are Windows emulation software for the MAC OS X.

Honestly though if you're computer savvy enough, you can also re-partition your hard drive on your Mac and just put a Windows install on your new partition to create a dual boot option of either MAC OS X or whatever flavor of Windows you desire. This is simple now considering the fact all MACs are run now on nothing more than Intel hardware.(i.e. PC compatible) That would be a far simpler and less problematic solution IMHO. Another unknown is the aspect of the quality of the emulation of Parallels or VMWare, which could not run PSOBB as desired(requiring massive cpu muscle due to the emulation) or not even run PSOBB correctly at all. So far I've yet to read of someone attempting it, so you'd be blazing some new territory for sure in this respect.

i recommend Parallels but it is a pay version. try to use VirtualBox pretty sure will work on it too.

PLEASE DONT USE VMwareFUSION. its a crap! i have use all this 3 very constantly. and the best is parallels but like i said is expensive. VMwareFusion is the worst of it. all the time that VMwareFusion crash and the virtual disk got corrupted the tech support of VMfusion sucks and they only answer with "Theres nothing we can do, you should have a back up". that thing is so frustated and is the worst answer for a paid software.

i have run PSOBB with parallels and with VirtualBox and it runs flawless.

hint. When you create the Virtual Disk. make sure to use the ovf Format is cross plataform compatible. (but slower.)

if you wont be saving data in the virtual disk then use the default format for wherever software u use.

good luck.
